Dracula Technologies has created LAYER®, a printed technology that generates energy from ambient light. It is based on a process for manufacturing OPV cells using digital printing.
Today, more and more connected objects are in circulation. 50 billion connected objects by 2020. That's a lot of batteries to change. To meet this challenge, a number of Energy Harvesting solutions are emerging.
Among them: LAYER "Light As Your Energetic Response", developed by Dracula Technologies. It is based on the world-renowned inkjet printing technology. By printing 5 successive layers, the result is a photovoltaic module just a few hundred nanometres thick.
This technology works with ambient light. Before printing, the inks are formulated by Dracula Technologies teams. It's a technology that respects the environment.
Making connected objects autonomous by integrating free-form, inkjet-printed, sustainable organic photovoltaic technology: LAYER®
Dracula Technologique is the 1st in the world to print photovoltaic ink. After more than 10 years of research, development and innovation, Dracula Technologie works every day to push back the boundaries of technology.
Layer® converts ambient light, both natural and artificial, into electricity, and is optimized for best performance from 5 to 1000 lux
Dracula Technologie addresses markets such as the micro-component industry, the smart home and smart city, asset and animal tracking, security and identification, and smart cards.

A fully digital printing method enables LAYER® to be produced with design freedom and a wide variety of dimensions.
And with the drop-on-demand process, there's less material waste than with other printing and coating technologies.
The solution provided by Dracula Technologie can take any form, even adapting to the smallest imaginable format. It can be customized right down to the composition of each individual layer of the photovoltaic module, to suit a variety of applications, from environmental sensors to remote controls and switches...
